Team-Based Learning Enhances Performance in Introductory Biology
Carmichael, Jeffrey
Journal of College Science Teaching, v38 n4 p54-61 Mar 2009
Given the problems associated with the traditional lecture method, the constraints associated with large classes, and the effectiveness of active learning, continued development and testing of efficient student-centered learning approaches are needed. This study explores the effectiveness of team-based learning (TBL) in a large-enrollment introductory biology class. (Contains 2 tables and 4 figures.)
